[edit] OCEAN BASINS
Provides comprehensive coverage of the evolution of ocean basins and their structure. This second edition explores how the 'hot springs' of the oceanic ridges cycle chemical elements between seawater and oceanic crust. It examines sediment distributions to demonstrate how sediments can preserve a record of past climatic and sea-level changes.
High quality full colour diagrams; Substantial chapter summaries ideal for revision; Answers, hints and notes for questions at back of the book; Self-check questions throughout the text; This is an invaluable textbook, prepared by the Open University team and designed so that it can be read on its own or as part of the OU course. This edition has been fully revised and updated including new colour illustrations increasing the striking spread of full colour diagrams throughout the book. The clarity of the text has been improved, providing comprehensive coverage of the evolution of ocean basins and their structure in a clear, concise manner aimed specifically at the student market. The first chapters describe the processes that shape the ocean basins, determine the structure and composition of oceanic crust and control the major features of continental margins. How the 'hot springs' of the oceanic ridges cycle elements between seawater and oceanic crust is then explored. Sediment distributions are examined next, to demonstrate how sediments can preserve a record of past climatic and sea-level changes. Finally, the role of the oceans as an integral part of global chemical changes is reviewed.
